I should give a good deal not to have to go
abroad for the next two months. I have, at last, overtaken
arrears of correspondence and other work, but I can see
wherein it will all begin anew once I am away for a fortnight
or longer.

We are having the Lord Mayor of London as the
guest of the Government on Wednesday of next week. We shall
give him a welcome on Parliament Hill in the forenoon and a
drive about the City with luncheon at the Country Club. He
is here only during the morning and afternoon.

I hope Lady Tweedsmuir is well and has enjoyed
the Western trip. Please give my kindest remembrances to
her and to all of your party.

Later. Aug: 26,

May I renew before signing this good
wishes for your 61st year, which I expressed
in a wire I sent on behalf of my colleagues
and myself last night. I do hope this year
will bring you renewed health and great
happiness in all your work.

Yours very sincerely

Rex.

P.S.
I see echoes of Quebec in the N.Y. Times pro-
nouncement on Roosevelt's behalf. That
visit will do the present world much
more good than any meeting of the Assembly
of the League of Nations ...
